Another fine catalog compilation; great artwork and good music. EP 1 has hardcore of the usual BacSour flavor, ranging from SE (In My Eyes) to crusty and gloomy stuff - good music but no real highlights either. EP 2 is sort of a “tribute” to Septic Death with SD cover versions (and two SD originals, one unknown track and the classic “glue/out of step” cover version). Clear winners are Cavity with their monstrous sludge version of Demon. [7]

Mal wieder ein feines Release von Meister Pushead; durchweg ordentlicher Hardcore in der üblichen BacSour-Spannbreite zwischen SE und Doom, allerdings auch keine echten Highlights. Die zweite EP ist eine Art Septic-Death-Tribute; klarer Gewinner sind hier Cavity mit ihrer Sludge-Version von Demon Inside Me.
